Give me a minute...Monday

and the Monday Minute....



1 - What's a piece of advice you'd like to share?

Never assume, it makes an ass out of you and me. I assume a lot and I typically assume wrong.


2 - Describe the last time you sat on the toilet screaming at someone to bring you some toilet paper.

This is a normal regular occurrence at my house, apparently I get a parenting fail on teaching my kids to replace the damn toilet paper. If I can remember right, I was sitting on the toilet doing my number one business when I looked to the wall that holds the roll. One square left. Dammit. I sighed out loud to which Bubba asks from the other bathroom, "what's wrong Mom?" "We are out of toilet paper in here." I answered him. "OH yeah, I knew that." He responded as I got up to a 3/4 squat did a little shake and went to the other bathroom to retrieve a roll.
Good times.


3 - Explain why anyone would want to eat sushi.

Just to say they tried it. Duh. I like to try new things, never know what you're missing if you never try. It's a good philosophy for life as well.

4 - Describe your perfect dinner - one app, one entree, two side dishes, and one dessert.

Mr.FF and I went to this one restaurant. We ordered the mussels for an appetizer. I had never tried them before and well, see the answer to 3. I LOVED THEM. As my entree, I'd go with a medium well cooked steak with fresh vegetables and brown rice. YUM. For dessert, I'd have to go with a rich cheesecake, something like Turtle (the candy, not the animal). *drools*

and finally...

5 - When was the last time you pissed the bed?

I don't ever recall a time I pee'd in my bed. Really. I think I was a prodigy child, cause I don't think I even pee'd the bed even way back then (a few years ago). However I do recall a time in maybe second grade. I had to go to the bathroom so bad, but the teacher said, no. I held it as best as I could. Let me tell you, I have a huge bladder...maybe it wasn't so big then, but I can hold it for days now. Just sayin. This day, to my dismay I could not hold it. I pee'd my pants. There was a puddle under my desk. I don't remember much of what happened after this, I am sure it is a blacked out memory in my mind.

Music Monday and a Monday Minute.

Just bought Adele's 21 cd this weekend, I love it.






1 - In terms of having sex, etc, what's your 'safe word'?


"whoa"


2 - What are you wearing?

clothes. and a smile.


3 - How are you feeling?

I feel like I'm on a fence and it's not a fun fence.


4 - How many and which languages can you speak fluently?

English and sarcasm.


and finally...



5 - Name at least one thing that you did as an adolescent that if you caught your child (or future child) doing, you'd get pretty mad.

I was an angel.  Shut up.  I was.  Ask my Mom.  Oh wait, you can't hmmm, guess you'll have to take my word for it.

I remember my Mom always freaked about little things, but when it came to BIG WHOOPSIES...she was so calm.  I hope I can be the same....less the freaking about the little things.

Monday Minute and more.

1 - What part of 'no' do you not understand?


The no part.


2 - Which current reality show do you think you could win?

Probably none.


3 - Would you amputate your right arm for ten million dollars?

wow. yes.


4 - If I say, just bring it - what you got?

A camera and a sense of humor.


5 - You are opening a restaurant. What type or theme of food are you serving?

Cybil.  It would change every week.
*****
Today is my brother's 36th birthday.  Isn't that nuts?  He's so old.  LOL.

We are the same age for a month, then I'm older. 

Old. 

I don't feel older though. 


Just the sound of 37 really sends shivers down my spine.  It's weird to say that's how old I'm going to be.

*shrugs*

****

Shopping at the outlet mall on a warm day, always makes me happy.
 
You're welcome.

I photographed a wedding for a friend last weekend.  I am happy with the pictures.  I will share with you all later this week, maybe tomorrow. :o)
 
****
 
I am so glad summer is finally here.  I got some pool time in this weekend and I barely burned.  I have to remember areas that need extra sunscreen, ie; legs which hardly ever see sun. :)
 
****
 
Happy Monday everyone. :)

Monday Quicky

Describe your life in one word


MADNESS.
(hello)



Is there something you wish you had learned how to do as a child?

hmmm. nope.


Who has been the biggest influence on your life?

My mother. Good and Bad, she is who I refer to.  I may not like her answers or even listen to them.  I may not have liked her way of parenting, but she is the book I go by.  Period.

What is your greatest dream/hope/aspiration?
After all is said and done.  More is said than done.

Wait. NO. 

My greatests dream is happiness.
My greatest hope is for well adjusted kids at some point in my lifetime.
My greatest aspiration is to someday have my bachelors or maybe take some photography class or intern for a photographer so that I can make more money on the side doing something I love...


Do you believe you have reached your potential? Why/why not?

I think potential is an open ended spectrum.  As long as you are continually learning, trying new things, experiencing life to the fullest then the potential is never ending.



For my Music Monday:

*this is Demi Lovato, love her voice.  She will be singing at the Jonas Brothers concert that I am taking Buggy to this weekend. :)

Monday Minute....first timer.

1. Who is your "what-if" person?
(What-if person being what if I married this person or am now in a relationship with "this" person)

Oh, my lovely Internet readers. I am the Queen of Procrastination What-ifs.

Sure, I think we all have, usually in a moment of weakness thought about what ifs in our life ESPECIALLY when it comes to past relationships.

For example, what if first ex-hubby didn't go scumming was more committed to our relationship?  How different would my life be?  Would I have had another child with him?  What would it be like to have two kids by one baby daddy two kids look like each other?

What if my very first love and I would have stayed together instead of going our separate ways to grow, to fall, and to move on with our lives?

BUT no "WHAT IF" ever changes the fact that my reality is now, is here and I am truly so very happy to be where I am now. If all of the previous what if situations were true, I don't think I'd be the person I am now; perfectly flawed and beautifully imperfect.


2. What is your nickname?

Mom.

As a child, my loving family nicknamed me Stacie-Bug. Not because I was a pest. NO. That would be mean, right? No, I was Stacie-Bug because I had big eyes.

*crickets*

*picks up self esteem and moves to next question*

(hahahah and YES, we call my daughter Buggy...but for other reasons other than her big eyes as a child)


3. If you could choose how you died, how would you like to die?

Having sex?

As Mr.FF would say, you could "come" and go at the same time.

Buahahahaha. I love that guy.

TMI...I thought I was dieing in just this manner last Friday. Just sayin.



4. If you could have named yourself, which name would you have picked?

Candy?
I don't know.

Names for my own children were so difficult for me to come up with.

When I was younger I wished my name was Heather.

Not anymore though.



5. Who were you named after or for what reason did your parents choose your name?

My Mom was young. In High School, young.

There was a popular girl in her school, as my Mom tells the story, this Stacie, was beautiful, kind and very good in school. My Mom thought that if the baby she carried was a daughter that she would want her to possess those same qualities, therefore, named me Stacie.

I wasn't popular in school.
